Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I am in search of God or divine and i have landed here. :)
I think its one of the right place.
I am a practicing catholic and from India. So i read saints and gurus both and they make me feel at home. i have only read and never practiced anything much.
I want to start with meditation can anybody help me with where to begin? i have read about it a lot but couldn't really finalize on one which what i want. ( i really do have a monkey mind)
When i begin i have doubts if this is the path for me etc. :)
But i am more attracted to devotion to divine. mother mary( from childhood) and instances of mother kali in auto-biographies of yogis(paramahamsa, paramananda and others) have thrilled me.
Can anyone help me here?
Thank you so much

| Welcome mnm! I would say, listen to your heart: it is telling you something important about your attraction towards devotion, so use that message as a pointer leading you in a direction in line with your needs and wishes. All the best. |

In this age we are bred monkey minded, so do not let this detour you. To quiet things takes practice and repetition, you notice and hold a thought, then dismiss it and return to the mantra, over and over, no judgement, no anxiety. It really doesn't take too many sessions to observe that thoughts thin out, and a new quiet-normal becomes established.
I too was raised Catholic. Although I have fallen away from the church (I live in my church) the mysteries and miracles still fire spiritual devotion, "Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be." |
